police

I can't post links but the story is new and easy to find. In a Walmart in Beavercreek, Ohio, John Crawford, 22, was fatally shot by police officers when he was carrying a toy gun the store sells. A couple of other customers say him holding the realistic toy gun and notified police who came to...

What's a typical schedule like for a police officer?

Hi, I live in Ypsilanti, MI. I checked out this websight and thought it was cool. Nicely put together. I frequent Detroit (sure everybody knows about the police force there) and worry about these forces being weakened due to mismanagement of funds. I am told (not sure if it's true or not)...

The husband was strangled by police, and the wife caught it on film. Around two days later, the police arrested her for allegedly assaulting another woman. This happened in NY, with the NYPD. Not sure if I am allowed to post links to the article, but a quick google search of Time's article on it...

How does one go from being a police officer to an FBI agent, or working for the CIA? Is it through military channels or police channels? Also, would family members be able to know?

Is anyone aware of whether or not you can become a police officer if you suffer from Type I? I know that there are police officers on the force with Type II, but have yet to meet someone who has Type I. Anyone?

Hihi I'm Jay, born and raised Canadian! From Toronto, a friend showed me this board and I thought I'd stick around and take a look! Hope to get to know some of you and read more about the way police operate! See you around :)

Hey everyone! Just a civilian that wishes to remain such and I hope that this board can welcome a Canuck like myself! (I've noticed that this board seems mostly American in nature which changes a fair few things) I have family members who are police officers, have had friends that have dealt...

What kind of attitude helps a police officer better deal with the situation, and quicker? Something that lets the police officer feel reassured and more content with helping in the situation, basically. I don't have the slightest clue due to lack of perspective, so, help me out on this.

Hey there! I'm a 20 year old college student from Slovenia, looking forward to talking with police officers! It must be a hard job, daily listening to bursts of anger, but I'm sure it can be rewarding! I study Sociology, so debates about the police should yield some interesting results! I can't...

I would like to know how fit you would have to be to consider becoming a police officer, I would also like to know what kind of risks (ones that you only find out about when you become one especially) it is possible to encounter as a police officer, besides the obvious ones, of course. Is there...

Somehow I can't post videos/links in the forums, I don't know why. It says I'm not yet allowed to post links. I had a nice police video to share but this disallows me from doing so.

In TV shows such as Common Law, cops who are opposites often end up as partners. At times, they bicker back and forth like cats and dogs. Yet, together, these police officers end up catching the bad guys. I can't imagine this to be true in real life. What is the protocol for partners who can't...

On TV, I only see officers call for back up if they're about to confront a violent criminal. Yet, in real life, I have seen a couple of cop cars on the freeway seemingly dealing with someone who's less than dangerous. So, when do police officers call for back up? :confused:

A relative of mine used to be a security guard. She wore the whole get up, but could not carry a gun. My thoughts were that if something really did happen at her job, she probably would be very limited as to what she could or could not. Her main option would be the same as mine - call the...

As you probably already know, a running joke about police officers is that they are overweight. Although I have rarely seen a law enforcer who was obese, a few could lose about 20 pounds. With this said, do police officers get suspended for being overweight? If so, what are the parameters?

I take public transportation to work five days a week. To say the least, every bus driver isn't created equal. Some of them speed, weave and do other things that would merit a ticket. Yet, I don't recall ever seeing a police pull over one of these guys. Do you ever ticket a bus driver...

An innovative police force has unveiled a new weapon in its fight against crime in rural Wales, a marked tractor with flashing blue lights. Nice ride :)

Hi all, not a police officer, but my brother is and works for Memphis City Police. I hope to make some new friends here and learn more as i do.

Hey guys! Looking forward to talk to some police men here! I am so excited!
